Pros

Competitive pay and unlimited PTO (which people really use); great coworkers and friendly office culture despite thin times; did some good work here

Cons

CEO and his advisors have now authorized three rounds of layoffs in 18 months, with progressively less generous terms for separated employees. No real profit sharing since 2022. Company sentiment was that the CEO had put the company in a weak position by taking on 50% outside ownership (and associated debt) in 2019, investing heavily in poorly-aligned acquisitions to become a "digital services company", whatever that means, and refused to take ownership for actually re-positioning the company during 'economic headwinds'. McCarty dealt with the last 24 months of slow sales and high interest rates (which squeezed both revenue and expenses, since it affected our clients' willingness to buy new work and the cost of servicing our own debts) by taking cost cutting measures and waiting for things to get better... that isn't a plan for a single quarter, much less two years.
